Broadband options

Broadband type

Fixed-line broadband is available either as standard (ADSL) broadband, or fibre optic. Fibre optic broadband is much faster and more reliable, but it isn’t available everywhere and can cost more.

Standard

Fibre

Monthly usage allowance

The amount you download determines the broadband package you should get. To keep things simple, we ask if you would like to see packages which are unlimited. These packages are ideal for users who are online for several hours during the day, or use the internet extensively for entertainment - like downloading movies and TV, streaming entertainment, or playing games. They are also good for large households where several people go online at the same time. If that sounds like you, pick ‘Just unlimited’.

Minimum speed

Your broadband speed determines how fast web pages load, files are downloaded, the time streaming video takes to buffer, and more. For a big household, or one where you stream lots of video or play games, a fast speed is recommended

*This is the maximum possible speed. Broadband speed may be lower at peak times and can be affected by a range of technical and environmental factors. The speed you receive where you live may be lower than listed above.

The services listed above are subject to local availablity and may not be available where you live.

Finding a great broadband deal is easy

Choosing the right package

You wouldn't buy a Smart car to tow a caravan, so why settle for the wrong kind of broadband? We can help you find your perfect bundle - but before we get started, have a think about the following:

Speed - The faster your broadband, the slicker and more enjoyable your online experience should be. Also, as a general rule, the faster your broadband, the more people you can have online at the same time.

Usage - Do you live with other people, or have a houseful of kids all connected to the Wi-Fi and gobbling up the gigabytes? As well as speed, you’ll need a generous usage limit - ideally, unlimited broadband.

Bundling - Most providers do broadband, TV and phone - some even do mobile phones as well. It’s nearly always cheaper and easier to bundle them all together in one package with just the one monthly bill to pay.

What speed should I go for?

As a general rule, the faster your broadband the better your online experience will be. With a faster connection you can download and stream without ever hanging around, and it shouldn't matter how many people in your house use the internet at once. Not everyone needs superfast broadband, though. You’ll find cheap broadband deals with lesser speeds, and it’s only worth paying extra if you’ll benefit from something quicker. Here’s a simple guide to broadband speeds:

Standard - Up to 16Mb - If you’re just checking emails, browsing websites, shopping and reading news, you don’t really need fast broadband. Standard packages with speeds of up to 16Mb are enough for light internet usage.

Superfast - Up to 38Mb - 52Mb - If you want to stream TV and films, or download music and games, you’ll find this much easier with superfast broadband. It’s perfect for households of three or more people, who all want to be online.

Even faster - Up to 76Mb - 200Mb+ - For larger families, with everyone connected - on tablets, mobile phones, PCs and consoles - even faster fibre broadband, or Virgin Media’s top-whack cable broadband, could be a worthwhile investment.

Usage limits explained

Everything you do on the internet uses data. For general browsing very little data’s needed, but streaming music and video, or downloading large files like movies and games, can quickly eat up your usage allowance. If you’re worried about exceeding your limit - and running the risk of being charged for extra data - then unlimited broadband’s your safest bet, and it won’t necessarily cost more. Here’s a quick guide to usage:

Light - Up to 25GB - If it’s only you using the internet and you just want to browse the web, use email, Facebook and so on, then you won’t need lots of data. A cheap broadband package with a usage limit should be enough.

Medium and heavy - Unlimited - Anyone who regularly streams TV and movies online, plays games or shares a house with three or more people should definitely consider unlimited broadband. You’ll never have to worry about data usage.

Broadband providers

We compare broadband, TV, home phone and mobile deals from all the main UK providers. Not everyone has the same pick of providers - that’s why we need your postcode - so we show the best broadband deals available where you live. There are smaller providers you might not know, as well as the big names you've heard of:

Fibre optic, cable or ADSL broadband?

Without getting overly technical, there are three main types of home broadband - ADSL, cable broadband and fibre optic broadband. Not everyone has a choice of all three, so we use your postcode to show only what’s available in your area. Some providers offer multiple types, while others are specialists in one particular technology.

ADSL - Broadband delivered down your telephone line is still the most common type in the UK, and normally offers speeds of up to 16Mb. You need an active phone line, which means paying line rental.

Fibre optic broadband - Superfast broadband delivered by fibre optic cable carrying data at the speed of light. Most fibre broadband, including BT Infinity, still needs a telephone line but offers speeds of up to 76Mb.

Cable broadband - Virgin Media’s different from other providers, with a cable broadband network that doesn't rely on BT’s infrastructure. You’ll get speeds of up to 200Mb and won’t necessarily have to pay line rental.

Building your bundle

Why stop at broadband, when you can save even more money with a broadband, TV and home phone bundle? It’s also a good way of simplifying things, because you’ll only ever have the one bill to manage, and if anything ever goes kaput then it’s just one provider you’re going to be dealing with. It makes sense to compare TV packages whenever you’re thinking of switching broadband - if nothing else, just to see what’s new.

TV - Whether live sport’s your thing or you’re a big movie buff, subscription TV providers like Sky, Virgin Media, BT and TalkTalk can take your home entertainment to the next level.

Home phone - Apart from Virgin Media, all the major providers require you to have a landline for broadband. All-in-one broadband deals that include phone and TV will normally bag you the best value.

Mobile - A few providers offer mobile phone plans on top of their broadband, TV and home phone bundles. You can save even more money when you take all four in one big, juicy bundle.

*Saving based on switching from separate broadband and phone services to a comparable bundle. Separate services assume standard ongoing annual costs. Example: Sky Original TV with fibre broadband and calls with line rental - total annual cost £688.80 vs. BT's "TV Starter + BT Infinity 1 + weekend calls" TV, fibre broadband and weekend calls - £7.50 a month for 12 months - with line rental total first year cost £361.83. Total first year saving £326.97. Terms and conditions apply. All prices subject to geographic availability and offer dates. Information correct at 01/04/16.

FAQ

The process of changing your broadband provider is actually pretty straightforward. First, you put your postcode into our impartial comparison tool. We’ll display the broadband, phone and TV deals available where you live, and then you can use our search filters to narrow down the options and find the perfect package for your household. Finally, you sign up with your new provider online. They’ll contact your existing provider and take care of everything else for you (unless you're switching to or from Virgin Media).

The actual switch should be virtually seamless, and in the vast majority of cases it is. Your new broadband provider will send you all the stuff you need to get set up, like a new wireless router and/or TV set-top box.

Superfast fibre optic broadband is slowly making its way across the UK as part of a nationwide roll-out part sponsored by the government. Currently, around 80% of the country has access. You can use our postcode checker to see whether fibre optic broadband’s reached your area yet. That's the most likely reason why it's not available to you, but it could also be due to living in a rural area, in an awkwardly-placed property, or just too far away from a street cabinet.

When you sign up to a new provider, they’ll contact your existing one and request a transfer of your service. The only exception is when you're switching to or from Virgin Media, in which case you'll have to call and cancel. While switching times vary depending on the type of package, it shouldn’t usually take more than 10 working days. It can take longer if you don’t currently have a phone line, as an engineer will need to come out and install one for you.

This depends entirely on who your current provider is. If your email address is from BT, Sky, TalkTalk, Virgin Media, or Plusnet, you'll still have access to your emails at least temporarily - but we'd suggest changing over to a free service like Gmail or Outlook so you don't need to worry about losing all your emails just for switching broadband.
